Need measurement help, got pics
Two pics here. This is a used kilt I picked up in the for sale section to get my measurements right.
The kilt I am wearing, I am not worried about the aprons. I moved both buckles three inches. I am not looking to perfect this kilt, what I do want to do is order a tank and have it come in fitting correctly.
What has been driving my local tailors crazy, besides never having measured anyone for a kilt before, is my legs are different lengths.
As pictured this one is riding a full hand width, four fingers and a thumb above my navel.
Does the hem look like it is about the right place? Should I maybe raise the bottom edge a little more? Can you tell my kneecaps are 1/2" apart vertically?
Second, the sewn down part of the pleats on this one ends about 4" above the widest part of my hips.
My chosen kilt maker is a supporting vendor here, I'll mail this thing in to them if I need to.
If you were about to order a tank, what dimensions would you change from this one pictured?
Thanks.
Oh yes, pics:
